Eating On Mountain
St Anton and the broader Ski Arlberg has a dizzying number of on-mountain restaurants from which to choose from varying from cafeteria type lunch spots to raucous pub-style mountain huts, & from fine dining to quaint eateries. The main lift station at Galzig has a range of options as does the excellent (and newer) complex at Gampen. Bar, restaurant,cafe and outdoor dining options are at both complexes. Various restaurants in mountain huts are dotted across the resort, and the restaurant above the village of St Christoph is a great place to soak in the sun and enjoy a drink.
A favourite lunch spot was the Berghaus Stuben (in Stuben) where the service, atmosphere and food were complete winners.
